Gil is as useless in this game as it gets outside of housing and crafting has little impact on that. Gear drops in value at a ridiculous pace, being affordable to the masses after a week or two.

BTW: I wouldn't blame crafting for the prices. Crafting has very little to do with it, the only stuff that is expensive are the sort of rare RNG based treasure map materials. These would be just as expensive if crafting was a no stats 1 button thing.
Yes, they can.

No they can't "stop" RMT but the amount of real money being used to buy from RMT can be lowered. The goal isn't to stop RMT but to limit the amount of money people spend on RMT. The less these people spend on RMT the more they may be willing to spend on the Mog station, right? lol

Look it's not that I "blame" crafters for RMT, it's that I think that kind of thinking, where lower MB prices causes more RMT, is false.
